8/10. One of the "real" political thrillers of its day, I watched it in
pieces in social studies class and was one of the only pupils who
liked it. The U.S. mistakenly sent out bombers to attack Russia, but
when they find out that it was accidenal, they try to get everyone
back. It's very thrilling, except I think I missed some parts, and I
didn't really know who all of the characters were. However, the
ending was so jaw-dropping and stunning I was blown back. I gasped
not only because it's not what Dubya would do, but it was so out-of-
the-blue.
